Phenotypic and Phylogenetic Characterization of a New Corynebacterium Species from Dogs: Description of Corynebacterium auriscanis sp. nov.
(1999-11)
Six strains of a previously undescribed catalase-positive coryneform bacterium isolated from clinical specimens from dogs were characterized by phenotypic and molecular genetic methods. Biochemical and chemotaxonomic studies ...
Meningoencephalitis Associated with Globicatella sanguinis Infection in Lambs
(2000-11)
Thirty lambs displayed symptoms of meningoencephalitis. An unusual gram-positive coccus was isolated in pure culture from the blood and brain samples from one of the affected animals, and phenotypic and phylogenetic ...
Description of Kingella potus sp. nov., an Organism Isolated from a Wound Caused by an Animal Bite
(2005-07)
We report the isolation and characterization of a hitherto unknown gram-negative, rod-shaped Neisseria-like organism from an infected wound resulting from a bite from a kinkajou. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic ...
Characterization of Some Actinomyces-Like Isolates from Human Clinical Sources: Description of Varibaculum cambriensis gen. nov., sp. nov.
(2003-02)
Fifteen strains of an anaerobic, catalase-negative, gram-positive diphtheroid-shaped bacterium recovered from human sources were characterized by phenotypic and molecular chemical and molecular genetic methods. The ...
Most Corynebacterium xerosis Strains Identified in the Routine Clinical Laboratory Correspond to Corynebacterium amycolatum
(1996-05)
A comprehensive study was performed on 25 bacterial clinical isolates originally identified as Corynebacterium xerosis. Three reference strains of C. xerosis were also included in the study. On the basis of a variety of ...
Facklamia ignava sp. nov., Isolated from Human Clinical Specimens
(1998-07)
Two strains of a hitherto-undescribed gram-positive, catalase-negative coccus isolated from human sources were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies ...
Formate-Dependent Growth and Homoacetogenic Fermentation by a Bacterium from Human Feces: Description of Bryantella formatexigens gen. nov., sp. nov.
(2003-10)
Formate stimulates growth of a new bacterium from human feces. With high formate, it ferments glucose to acetate via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. The original isolate fermented vegetable cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, ...
Corynebacterium riegelii sp. nov., an Unusual Species Isolated from Female Patients with Urinary Tract Infections
(1998-03)
Four strains of an unknown coryneform bacterium were isolated in pure culture from females with urinary tract infections. Strong urease activity and the ability to slowly ferment maltose but not glucose were the most ...
Molecular Methods for the Analysis of Gut Microbiota
(2004)
This review focuses on methodological approaches used to study the composition of human faecal microbiota. Gene sequencing is the most accurate tool for revealing the phylogenetic relationships between bacteria. The main ...
Facklamia languida sp. nov., Isolated from Human Clinical Specimens
(1999-04)
Three strains of a gram-positive catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic coccus-shaped organism originating from human clinical samples were characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Sequencing of ...
